RE the shaders...

Can someone post a source of actual devs saying it has 160 vs 320? I've had 320 for a very long time due to Chipworks and NeoGaf threads discussion combined with various tech sites.


How do you have 320 shaders when neogaf onfirmed it was 160 shaders, and in the very same thread the project cars dev said it was 192 shaders , 320 shaders has been ruled out already ruled out by neogaf and othere tech sites unless your not keeping up with the descussion and want to ignore the facts.

gaf's thread on the GPU has 320 in its OP.

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=710765 this was the updated version of the wiiu specs thread, the othere one was never updated cause the OP never got to it, or stopped updating since it was such a long process to figure out the specs.

here is the direct quote from the NFSWU/project car dev  Martin Griffiths

Not sure where they got that info from but the WiiU GPU has 192 Shader units, not 160. It also has 32MB of EDRAM, (the same amount as Xbox One) so comparing just the number of shader units against a PC card doesn't give a representative performance comparison. On the CPU side, WiiU also supports multi-threaded rendering that scales perfectly with the number of cores you throw at it, unlike PC DX11 deferred contexts which don't scale very well. The current WiiU build runs around 18-25fps with 5AI with all post (FXAA/Motion blur etc) enabled, which is fairly good given only the fairly cursory optimisation pass that it's had.

Nice find. That actually fits pretty well with a supposed dev we had on here that stated it was between 160-200 shaders.

even with this confirmation, i bet the op still won't update his chart so his console of choice looks better, 320 shaders has been ruled a long time ago the only discussion going on is 160-192 shaders.

SuperChunk's a fairly good poster and relatively neutral when it comes to vgchartz, so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

Give him time to check it out and confirm it for himself.
